How to generate a dump file TFS 1.x file with visual studio or windows?

Hello,

Does anyone know how I can generate a dump file when there is a crash on my windows server? I'm compiling with visual studio, I crash, but I can't write logs.

Just attach debugger to the process by using ctrl+shift+p and wait for it to crash.

There's plenty of tutorials online, here's one for example: Tip: Automatically create a crash dump file on error - Meziantou's blog (https://www.meziantou.net/tip-automatically-create-a-crash-dump-file-on-error.htm)

I would also suggest configuring your release builds to generate symbols (.pdb file) so it's easier to debug: Set debug and release configurations - Visual Studio (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/debugger/how-to-set-debug-and-release-configurations?view=vs-2019)
